FRANCES NEW PRESIDENT.
M. Sadi-Carnot Chosen by the Sena-
 tors and Deputies.

PARIS, Dec. 4.-Au the bother ard worry is over for the present at least The good, quiet, honest inoffensive Republican, Sadi-Carnot, is chosen President, and France may proceed now to settle down and live quiet life, if so inclined, like other nations. The Parisians, or rather agitators who lead the Parisian mobs, had made up their minds that Jules Ferry would be elected, and that they, to mark their scorn, would have to tear everything, especi- ally public buildings and the police, into little pieces; but now that Ferry is altogether out of it they have nothing to complain of, and must wait for some new grievance before they proceed to destroy things. To those who have watched events here for the past few days the present blissful calm appears the full est and most unmixed blessing for France. The country has been in state bordering closely on civil war, with fighting and fiery speech-making plenty and bloody climax momentarily expected
 President Sadi-Carnot was formally in- stalled in the Elysee Palace this afternoon, and later received visits from ex-President Grevy, NJ. Rouvier, President Peytral of the Budget Committee, and other leading polltl- clans. The President said that it was his in- tention, after the new Ministry was formed, to at once close the present session of Parlia- ment until after the Senatorial elections. Gen. Brugere tonight invested the President with the grand collar of the Legion of Honor, Gen. Faidherbe presiding at the ceremonies.
 The Ministry have formally rendered their resignations, and President Sadi-Carnot has requested them to remain in office for the present for the despatch of public business. The air of M. Sadi-Carnot is reserved and slig tly distant. He did not canvass for Q single vote. When asked whether he would become candidate he replied: sYes, on con- dition that shall not have to ask for votes and shall not have to depend upon monarchi- cal votes. If it should be found that there are not enough Republican votes, will, if returned regard my election as void."
 When elected he said to his children: "It will go hard with me to quit this familiar house aud go to live in that Auberge Elysee His wife says that he understood his candida ture to be essentially one of pacification. Mme Sadi-Carnot is said to be an active, clever, and admirably fitted woman to make the Elysee Palace social centre. Her gar den parties and soirees dansantes at the Min istry of Finance have always been very suc- cessful.
 M. Grevy, in an interview to-day with the new president, expressed the hope that M. Sadi-C Carnot would be happier in the Elysee than he imself had been, and would not be as glad to leave it when the time came for him to leave.
 M. Sadi-Carnot is officially Catholic, but really deist and spiritualist, accepting the views of his friend, Jean Reynand.
 The Papal Nuncio has received instructions from the Vatican to pay an early visit to the President and to establish friendly relations at the outset with the new administration by explicitly declaring the good will of the Holy See toward France.
